Depends on the game lol. Having been with the Mrs for 4 years, sex I can have any time and regularly (and it is very good, too), but those new releases you’ve waited oh so long for only come (that’s not a pun) once in a blue moon!

Correction: 72% of males. If anything, this demonstrates further that males are not left fulfilled by their video games.

So research shows 40% of males would rather have play a new video game release than have sex. Your interpretation is that males must be pathologically addicted to games.

But let’s think supply and demand. People want what they don’t already have enough of. If I want desperately to play a new release, that’s because it’s a rare event. If I’m not that eager to have sex, that’s because it’s so common. To put it differently, you can have sex anytime, but it’s not every day you find a great new release.

One commenter says “the problem here isn’t so much videogame addiction as it is unfulfilling relationships.” But economics suggest that gamers are getting plenty of satisfying sex, and that it is unfulfilling gaming experiences that are driving males to “use and discard” one game after another in hopes of satisfying their craving for entertainment. What they really need is a good, long-term game to settle them down and get them out of this cycle of neediness.

Why doesn’t anyone ask if they’re addicted to sex?

On a more serious note, games are a form of entertainment, and entertainment is basically a form of escape, an anesthetic from all the stress and obligations in our lives. Depending on your relationship, sex and romance can be an escape or it can be just another obligation. I would say the problem here isn’t so much videogame addiction as it is unfulfilling relationships.

Why does it always have to be set up as an either or proposition? Chances are I wouldn’t wind up in a relationship with someone who wanted me, or in some other way required me, to give up gaming. If I did by some mistake I can guarantee that it wouldn’t last long. And I don’t mean to say it like it’s the girl or gaming and I choose gaming, what I mean is that the kind of woman who would require me to give it up, well I wouldn’t be good in a relationship with her anyway.

I believe gaming is only a medium of entertainment. I have deep tension when i get too much involved in gaming, and takes a long time to get rid of it. And when it comes to relationship and love, that’s what life is all about. There’s nothing more gratifying in the world than getting unconditional love… I do love games too..haha

@Tim I agree.

I would pick sex over gaming any day (well under most circumstances).
